AI search visibility for small business

When someone asks ChatGPT for the best business in your category, does your name come up?

If it doesn't, you're losing work to competitors who figured this out first. The fix isn't complicated, but it is specific. Run the free check below, or skip ahead to the $15 workbook.

The problem

AI is quietly rewriting how customers find businesses.

Classic search used to send visitors ten blue links. Now ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude and Google AI Overviews answer the question directly, and mention a handful of businesses by name. If your business isn't one of them, the customer never sees you.

Most small business websites weren't built for this. They were built for humans clicking, not machines summarising. Which means:

None of that is your fault. It's just new. The fixes take hours, not months, and most of your competitors haven't started.

Common questions

What people ask before they buy.

What is AI search visibility?

How often and how prominently your business is mentioned when people ask ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude or Google AI Overviews for recommendations in your category. High visibility means getting cited by name. Low visibility means you're invisible to these tools.

How is this different from traditional SEO?

Classic SEO targets Google's blue links. SEO for AI targets the summary AI models give directly, sometimes called Generative Engine Optimisation (GEO) or Answer Engine Optimisation (AEO). The techniques overlap (structured data, clear FAQs, strong Google Business Profile), but the targets, and the signals the models weight, are different.

Do I need to be a big brand to show up?

No. Local service businesses and small independents have an advantage because AI models prefer specific, trustworthy, location-relevant answers over generic big-brand content. The fixes are technical and editorial, not brand-size.

Does this work outside the United States?

Yes. The methodology is built for any English-speaking market: US, Canada, UK, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand. AI models rank results the same way globally, so the same structural fixes work everywhere English is the business language.

How long does the audit take?

24 to 48 hours after we receive your details. You get a branded PDF with 10 to 15 prioritised actions, each scored by effort and impact.

What's actually in the $15 workbook?

A 20-page PDF with one specific fix per page covering Google Business Profile, FAQ structure, schema markup, review prompts, content gaps, and how to test whether AI tools mention you. Copy-paste templates, no jargon, instant download after checkout.

Is the AI Visibility Checker really free?

Yes. Run it at /checker.html. Enter your business name, city, and trade, and we generate the exact prompts to paste into ChatGPT, Perplexity and Claude. No signup to run it. We only ask for an email if you'd like the PDF summary sent to you.
